2011-06-29Protect pg_stat_reset_shared() against NULL inputMagnus Hagander
Per bug #6082, reported by Steve Haslam
2011-06-11Add C comment mentioning pg_stat_activity.procpid should have beenBruce Momjian
called 'pid'.
2011-04-10pgindent run before PG 9.1 beta 1.Bruce Momjian
2011-03-26Clean up cruft around collation initialization for tupdescs and scankeys.Tom Lane
I found actual bugs in GiST and plpgsql; the rest of this is cosmetic but meant to decrease the odds of future bugs of omission.
2011-02-17Add client_hostname field to pg_stat_activity.Robert Haas
Peter Eisentraut, reviewed by Steve Singer, Alvaro Herrera, and me.
2011-02-10Track last time for statistics reset on databases and bgwriterMagnus Hagander
Tracks one counter for each database, which is reset whenever the statistics for any individual object inside the database is reset, and one counter for the background writer. Tomas Vondra, reviewed by Greg Smith
2011-01-03Add views and functions to monitor hot standby query conflictsMagnus Hagander
Add the view pg_stat_database_conflicts and a column to pg_stat_database, and the underlying functions to provide the information.
2011-01-01Stamp copyrights for year 2011.Bruce Momjian
2010-11-15Add new buffers_backend_fsync field to pg_stat_bgwriter.Robert Haas
This new field counts the number of times that a backend which writes a buffer out to the OS must also fsync() it. This happens when the bgwriter fsync request queue is full, and is generally detrimental to performance, so it's good to know when it's happening. Along the way, log a new message at level DEBUG1 whenever we fail to hand off an fsync, so that the problem can also be seen in examination of log files (if the logging level is cranked up high enough). Greg Smith, with minor tweaks by me.
2010-09-20Remove cvs keywords from all files.Magnus Hagander
2010-08-21Add vacuum and analyze counters to pg_stat_*_tables views.Magnus Hagander
2010-08-08Add stats functions and views to provide access to a transaction's ownTom Lane
statistics counts. These numbers are being accumulated but haven't yet been transmitted to the collector (and won't be, until the transaction ends). For some purposes, though, it's handy to be able to look at them. Joel Jacobson, reviewed by Itagaki Takahiro

2010-01-28Add functions to reset the statistics counter for a single table/index orMagnus Hagander
a single function.
2010-01-19Add pg_stat_reset_shared('bgwriter') to reset the cluster-wide sharedMagnus Hagander
statistics of the bgwriter. Greg Smith
2010-01-02Update copyright for the year 2010.Bruce Momjian
2009-11-29Make pg_stat_activity.application_name visible to all users, rather thanTom Lane
being hidden when current_query is. Relocate it to a column position more consistent with that behavior. Per discussion.
2009-11-28Add support for an application_name parameter, which is displayed inTom Lane
pg_stat_activity and recorded in log entries. Dave Page, reviewed by Andres Freund
2009-06-118.4 pgindent run, with new combined Linux/FreeBSD/MinGW typedef listBruce Momjian
provided by Andrew.
2009-01-01Update copyright for 2009.Bruce Momjian
2008-05-15Add support for tracking call counts and elapsed runtime for user-definedTom Lane
functions. Note that because this patch changes FmgrInfo, any external C functions you might be testing with 8.4 will need to be recompiled. Patch by Martin Pihlak, some editorialization by me (principally, removing tracking of getrusage() numbers)
2008-05-12Restructure some header files a bit, in particular heapam.h, by removing someAlvaro Herrera
unnecessary #include lines in it. Also, move some tuple routine prototypes and macros to htup.h, which allows removal of heapam.h inclusion from some .c files. For this to work, a new header file access/sysattr.h needed to be created, initially containing attribute numbers of system columns, for pg_dump usage. While at it, make contrib ltree, intarray and hstore header files more consistent with our header style.
2008-05-07Make the pg_stat_activity view call a SRF (pg_stat_get_activity())Magnus Hagander
instead of calling a bunch of individual functions. This function can also be called directly, taking a PID as an argument, to return only the data for a single PID.
2008-03-25Simplify and standardize conversions between TEXT datums and ordinary CTom Lane
strings. This patch introduces four support functions cstring_to_text, cstring_to_text_with_len, text_to_cstring, and text_to_cstring_buffer, and two macros CStringGetTextDatum and TextDatumGetCString. A number of existing macros that provided variants on these themes were removed. Most of the places that need to make such conversions now require just one function or macro call, in place of the multiple notational layers that used to be needed. There are no longer any direct calls of textout or textin, and we got most of the places that were using handmade conversions via memcpy (there may be a few still lurking, though). This commit doesn't make any serious effort to eliminate transient memory leaks caused by detoasting toasted text objects before they reach text_to_cstring. We changed PG_GETARG_TEXT_P to PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP in a few places where it was easy, but much more could be done. Brendan Jurd and Tom Lane

2007-11-15pgindent run for 8.3.Bruce Momjian
2007-09-25Just-in-time background writing strategy. This code avoids re-scanningTom Lane
buffers that cannot possibly need to be cleaned, and estimates how many buffers it should try to clean based on moving averages of recent allocation requests and density of reusable buffers. The patch also adds a couple more columns to pg_stat_bgwriter to help measure the effectiveness of the bgwriter. Greg Smith, building on his own work and ideas from several other people, in particular a much older patch from Itagaki Takahiro.
2007-09-20HOT updates. When we update a tuple without changing any of its indexedTom Lane
columns, and the new version can be stored on the same heap page, we no longer generate extra index entries for the new version. Instead, index searches follow the HOT-chain links to ensure they find the correct tuple version. In addition, this patch introduces the ability to "prune" dead tuples on a per-page basis, without having to do a complete VACUUM pass to recover space. VACUUM is still needed to clean up dead index entries, however. Pavan Deolasee, with help from a bunch of other people.
2007-09-11Rename recently-added pg_stat_activity column from txn_start to xact_start,Tom Lane
for consistency with other column names such as in pg_stat_database.
2007-06-28Implement "distributed" checkpoints in which the checkpoint I/O is spreadTom Lane
over a fairly long period of time, rather than being spat out in a burst. This happens only for background checkpoints carried out by the bgwriter; other cases, such as a shutdown checkpoint, are still done at full speed. Remove the "all buffers" scan in the bgwriter, and associated stats infrastructure, since this seems no longer very useful when the checkpoint itself is properly throttled. Original patch by Itagaki Takahiro, reworked by Heikki Linnakangas, and some minor API editorialization by me.
2007-05-17Temporary fix for the problem that pg_stat_activity, inet_client_addr(),Tom Lane
and inet_server_addr() fail if the client connected over a "scoped" IPv6 address. In this case getnameinfo() will return a string ending with a poorly-standardized "%something" zone specifier, which these functions try to feed to network_in(), which won't take it. So that we don't lose functionality altogether, suppress the zone specifier before giving the string to network_in(). Per report from Brian Hirt. TODO: probably someday the inet type should support scoped IPv6 addresses, and then this patch should be reverted. Backpatch to 8.2 ... is it worth going further?
2007-03-30Add some instrumentation to the bgwriter, through the stats collector.Magnus Hagander
New view pg_stat_bgwriter, and the functions required to build it.
2007-03-16Add new columns for tuple statistics on a database level toMagnus Hagander
pg_stat_database.
2007-02-27Replace direct assignments to VARATT_SIZEP(x) with SET_VARSIZE(x, len).Tom Lane
Get rid of VARATT_SIZE and VARATT_DATA, which were simply redundant with VARSIZE and VARDATA, and as a consequence almost no code was using the longer names. Rename the length fields of struct varlena and various derived structures to catch anyplace that was accessing them directly; and clean up various places so caught. In itself this patch doesn't change any behavior at all, but it is necessary infrastructure if we hope to play any games with the representation of varlena headers. Greg Stark and Tom Lane
2007-02-07Add a function pg_stat_clear_snapshot() that discards any statistics snapshotTom Lane
already collected in the current transaction; this allows plpgsql functions to watch for stats updates even though they are confined to a single transaction. Use this instead of the previous kluge involving pg_stat_file() to wait for the stats collector to update in the stats regression test. Internally, decouple storage of stats snapshots from transaction boundaries; they'll now stick around until someone calls pgstat_clear_snapshot --- which xact.c still does at transaction end, to maintain the previous behavior. This makes the logic a lot cleaner, at the price of a couple dozen cycles per transaction exit.

back-stamped for this.
2007-01-02Add n_live_tuples and n_dead_tuples to pg_stat_all_tables.Bruce Momjian
The purpose is to allow autovacuum-esq conditional vacuuming and clustering using SQL to discover the required stats. No documentation updates required. Catalog version updated. Glen Parker
2006-12-06Add a txn_start column to pg_stat_activity. This makes it easier toNeil Conway
identify long-running transactions. Since we already need to record the transaction-start time (e.g. for now()), we don't need any additional system calls to report this information. Catversion bumped, initdb required.
2006-10-04pgindent run for 8.2.Bruce Momjian
2006-08-19Add a 'waiting' column to pg_stat_activity to carry the same informationTom Lane
that ps_status provides by appending 'waiting' to the PS display. This completes the project of making it feasible to turn off process title updates and instead rely on pg_stat_activity. Per my suggestion a few weeks ago.
2006-07-14Remove 576 references of include files that were not needed.Bruce Momjian
2006-07-11Alphabetically order reference to include files, "N" - "S".Bruce Momjian
2006-06-19Take the statistics collector out of the loop for monitoring backends'Tom Lane
current commands; instead, store current-status information in shared memory. This substantially reduces the overhead of stats_command_string and also ensures that pg_stat_activity is fully up to date at all times. Per my recent proposal.
2006-05-19Add last-vacuum/analyze-time columns to the stats collector, both manual andAlvaro Herrera
issued by autovacuum. Add accessor functions to them, and use those in the pg_stat_*_tables system views. Catalog version bumped due to changes in the pgstat views and the pgstat file. Patch from Larry Rosenman, minor improvements by me.
2006-05-19Have autovacuum report its activities to the stat collector.Alvaro Herrera
2006-03-05Update copyright for 2006. Update scripts.Bruce Momjian
2005-10-17Clean up libpq's pollution of application namespace by renaming theTom Lane
exported routines of ip.c, md5.c, and fe-auth.c to begin with 'pg_'. Also get rid of the vestigial fe_setauthsvc/fe_getauthsvc routines altogether.
2005-10-15Standard pgindent run for 8.1.Bruce Momjian
2005-06-29Clean up the rather historically encumbered interface to now() andTom Lane
current time: provide a GetCurrentTimestamp() function that returns current time in the form of a TimestampTz, instead of separate time_t and microseconds fields. This is what all the callers really want anyway, and it eliminates low-level dependencies on AbsoluteTime, which is a deprecated datatype that will have to disappear eventually.
2005-06-28Replace pg_shadow and pg_group by new role-capable catalogs pg_authidTom Lane
and pg_auth_members. There are still many loose ends to finish in this patch (no documentation, no regression tests, no pg_dump support for instance). But I'm going to commit it now anyway so that Alvaro can make some progress on shared dependencies. The catalog changes should be pretty much done.
